Sri Lankan captain Dinesh Chandimalis happy, obviously: “I’m over the moon. I thought toss was important. I saw some fresh grass on the pitch. Credit goes to bowlers, they did a really good job. It’s a young team. Every time we tell them to back themselves and do what they are capable of. We miss a lot of senior players, the youngsters have put their hands up and grabbed the opportunity.”

Indain captain MS Dhonisays, “The wicket was completely different to what we have been playing in the last one month. It was more like an English wicket. There was spongy bounce, and variable pace. We played quite a few big shots. Maybe not the kind of shots we should be playing on a spongy wicket. This was a 135-140 kind of wicket because there was some help for the fast bowlers. It was more English conditions than Indian conditions. Our shot selection should have been better. Looking at the positives, everybody got a chance today, and we kept pressing hard.”

The German pulled off an incredible 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 win over the world No1 to secure her first grand slam title and deny Williams a record-equalling 22nd

The 28-year-old becomes the first German to win a women's major singles final since Steffi Graf claimed the French Open in 1999.

An emotional Kerber said it had been a lifelong dream to win a major.

"My whole life I was working really hard and now I am here and I can say I am a grand slam champion," she said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

"So it sounds really crazy and unbelievable. Of course I would like to say thank you to my team, to my team who are supporting me like my whole life, my family."

Kerber admitted she thought she would make a first-round exit at Melbourne Park when she was down a match point in her opening match against Misaki Doi.

"When I played here the first round, I was match point down so I was actually with one leg playing, on the plane to Germany," she said.

"I think I got a second chance and I take my chance to be here in the finals to play against Serena and I am honoured to be here in this final and to win it ... it is my dream come true tonight on this night."

Williams paid tribute to Kerber, whose best finish at a major prior to this fortnight had been semi-final appearances at Wimbledon and the US Open.(Source-Internet)

Highlights

• India have lost four matches in a row in Australia, in the process letting slip its No 2 ODI ranking• The Indian team has now lost five ODIs in a row - for the first time under MS Dhoni• India's longest run of consecutive ODI losses is eight, achieved twice in the 1980s

While in the Test arena the Indian team has risen over the past 10
months to become No 1 in the ICC rankings - helped no doubt by South
Africa's dramatic slump - the graph for the ODI team in the same time
has dipped downwards and threatens to slump further. Since exiting the
2015 World Cup with defeat to hosts Australia at the SCG on March 26,
2015, India has won just six of 15 ODI matches.This runs
includes series defeats to Bangladesh, South Africa and now Australia
and just one series victory, against Zimbabwe with a second-string team
led by Ajinkya Rahane.Most recently, India have lost four
matches in a row in Australia, in the process letting slip its No 2 ODI
ranking. Factor in the hammering by South Africa at the Wankhede Stadium
in the last match of the home series, and India have now lost five
consecutive ODIs for the first time under MS Dhoni and overall for the
sixth time in its 930-match history.This poor run of results
equals India's record of five previous losing streaks: between October
13, 1978 and June 16, 1979; October 13, 1983 and December 17, 1983;
January 5, 1988 and January 25, 1988; November 24, 2002 and January 4,
2003; and from April 9,2005 to July 30,2005.India's longest
run of consecutive ODI losses is eight, achieved twice in the 1980s.
Between January 8, 1981 and November 25, 1981 India lost four matches in
a row in Australia, three in a row in New Zealand and one at home in
England; from March 7, 1989 to October 15, 1989 it lost seven
consecutive games to West Indies (five away, two at home) followed by
one to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy in Sharjah.Technically, however, India's longest stretch without a win is ten
matches, though this includes three no-results and one cancelled game.
India went winless from September 28, 1984 to January 20, 1985, losing
seven matches apart from the aforementioned three rain-hit matches and
an aborted match in Peshawar due to the assassination of then Indian
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. India also went winless for six matches
between April 17, 1996 and August 28, 1996 - losing two and three
matches either side of one washout.This current barren patch
is in stark contrast to the Australian team's form; they extended their
home steak to 19 consecutive matches.Here's a list of India's form since the World Cup:v Bangladesh, Dhaka, June 18 2015 - LOST by 79 runsv Bangladesh, Dhaka, June 21 2015 - LOST by 6 wicketsv Bangladesh, Dhaka, June 24 2015 - WON by 77 runsv Zimbabwe, Harare, July 10 2015 - WON by 4 runsv Zimbabwe, Harare, July 12 2015 - WON by 62 runsv Zimbabwe, Harare, July 14 2015 - WON by 83 runs

NEW DELHI: South Africa's troubles against spin continued with another
abject batting performance, one that spanned 49.3 overs on the second
day at the Feroz Shah Kotla, on a track that was nowhere near as
spiteful as Nagpur or Mohali. This was just poor batting against
accurate bowling, led by Ravindra Jadeja's 5/30.

Making South
Africa's collapse to 121 all the more alarming was that it took place on
the same track on which Ajinkya Rahane stroked his way to a silken 127 -
the first century of the series and the longest a player has batted -
while adding the highest partnership of the series (98) with R Ashwin,
who scored 56.

Such a meek batting effort also pushed into the
shade some excellent bowling from Kyle Abbott, whose figures of
24.5-7-40-5 gave the visitors something to take from an otherwise
chastening 117.5 overs in the field. This South African team is spent,
physically and mentally, of that there is no doubt. India, with a lead
of 213, will look to bury them on day three.

The Kotla surface
was not a rank turner as seen in Mohali and Nagpur, but still required
plenty of application and skill, and it was fitting that Rahane was the
man to reach a significant landmark for it was at this venue that he
made a forgettable debut in 2013. With this excellent century, Rahane
has also pushed his batting average in India from under eight to 24.85.

Rahane's fluidity harked back to his sublime Lord's century last
summer, and for sheer value it will rank alongside that match-winning
effort. He took 24 deliveries spanning nearly 45 minutes to move from 89
to 100, but once his first century in Indian was achieved with a push
past the stumps for four off Morne Morkel, and then punctuated with a
pump of the fists as he raised his bat, Rahane started purring.

He sashayed down to Dane Piedt and clubbed two sixes in an over, one
wide of deep midwicket and the other over long-off, and followed up by
hitting Dean Elgar's left-arm spin inside out over cover for four. In
between these attractive hits were delicate dabs square on the offside
and controlled bunts to leg. It was fluent batting, with a touch of
panache.

Rahane's innings ended when he drove Imran Tahir in
the air to cover, the leg spinner's first wicket in his tenth over.
Moments before lunch, he dumped Tahir for six over long-on to get to his
fifty, but did not last long after the interval as Abbott plucked out
the last two wickets to become the first overseas fast bowler since
Courtney Walsh in 1987 to claim a five-for at the Kotla.
